Tinnitus
Tinnitus is a sound in the ear such as ringing, hissing or buzzing that only you can hear. It is common and often linked to hearing loss. For many people it becomes less bothersome over time. What matters is how much it distresses you, and that can be worked on.

Therascout does not diagnose. Have new, severe or persistent complaints checked by a doctor.
The first point of contact is an ear, nose and throat (ENT) doctor, who checks your hearing and possible causes.
When to see a doctor
See a doctor at once or promptly if:
- Sudden hearing loss: get checked the same day
- Ear noise after a head injury
- With dizziness, paralysis, speech or vision problems: call 144 at once
- A pulsing sound in time with your heartbeat
In an emergency: 144
What you can do yourself
Avoid silence
Quiet background sounds, such as music or nature sounds, provide distraction.
Relax
Stress increases awareness of tinnitus. Relaxation and good sleep help.
Protect your hearing
Avoid loud music and noise or wear ear protection.
